Code of Business Integrity

Because it is good business

We believe that fairness, transparency and trust drive growth and prosperity for all parties involved- employees, customers, suppliers, markets - and the communities that encompass them all. Adhering to those qualities brings out the best in us, inspires the best in our business partners, reduces our exposure to legal risk and helps build and sustain a positive corporate reputation. Not only is behaving ethically the right and legal thing to do, it is good business.

This Code of Business Integrity ("our Code") provides guidance on how we as Linde employees will conduct ourselves with each other and with customers, suppliers, governments, other businesses and our environment.

Standards of business integrity

We have adopted an Ethics Policy and developed Standards of Business Integrity to provide additional, specific business conduct guidance to our employees.

This information is distributed to our employees around the world to outline Linde’s expectations of ethical conduct and integrity wherever we do business. We take these standards very seriously and non-compliance can result in severe disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. Our employees are actively encouraged to report suspected complaints and concerns, and can anonymously report violations through a number of channels, including the Integrity Hotline. We also encourage customers, vendors or other observers to use the hotline to submit complaints or allegations about these or other matters.

If you have observed a violation of Linde's Standards of Business Integrity, please contact our Integrity Hotline:
